There
really is no App to Replace Your Lap!
Here are some Halloween book suggestions
to read as a family from McDowell Elementary School.
“Room on the
Broom,” by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This is a fun
read where a not-so-scary witch picks up some friends after losing her hat. The
book has nice illustrations and it's a perfect length for reading aloud.
“The Little
Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything,” by Linda Williams. This
book has been around a long time. Several items of clothing are chasing
the little old lady, but she isn't afraid. She eventually finds a clever use
for them as well! Children are delighted by the sound effects that each
object makes.
“Clifford's Halloween,”
by Norman Bridwell. Who doesn't love Clifford? Clifford wants to dress up for
Halloween, so his friend Emily Elizabeth helps him with a costume. Things don't
go exactly as planned, though. A great book to share.
“There Was an
Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat,” by Lucille Colandro. Your kids
will beg to hear this one again and again. There are several different books
about this little old lady and the crazy stuff she eats. Love the Halloween
theme of this one.
“The 13 Nights
of Halloween,” by Guy Vasilovich. This book can be sung to the tune
of "The 12 Days of Christmas.” It has awesome illustrations, and the kids
love to sing along once they figure out how it goes.
“The Ugly
Pumpkin,” by Dave Horowitz. This is a classic Ugly Duckling
stylebook about a pumpkin no one wants for Halloween. Will the pumpkin have a
happy ending before Thanksgiving? This book has the possibility of good
discussion points for older primary students.
“The Red Ghost,”
by Marion Dane Bauer. This is a companion book to The Blue
Ghost, The Green
Ghost, and The Golden
Ghost. Educators love these chapter books for children
because they're scary, but just enough.
